  1. It's about time you 2 did something together🎉. I owe my sourdough skills and crazy mountain garden to you guys. Keep it up❤

  2. I absolutely loved this content! I’d love a deeper dive into your many systems especially the water systems! You are living my dream homestead life!!!

  3. I would like more details about your fence build as I want to build the same thing on my property for the same reasons: lots of deer and other critters coming from an adjacent open forest.

  4. Thanks for doing this Mike… Was fun and inspiring to see your garden in full and was especially cool that you did it with another of my favorite content creators (Kevin). You guys both do it right and the YT audience is lucky to have the likes of you two. Cheers!

  5. What’s your zone? Sorry if I missed it, I looked at your links, but couldn’t tell ( I didn’t dive deep). Without that, I can’t tell if your process works for me.

  6. My heart is so so happy!! I’m so tired and sleepy (I really should be sleeping already), but yet I smiled throughout this entire video… hehehe love you both and your content! Looking forward to more collabs!!

  7. Awesome video! How did you manage to get out all the overgrown weed when you first got the garden? I currently have the issue that I removed all the weed from my garden to start prepping the groundwork but I have some stuff that is just so much in the ground that I cant get everything out of there. Is that an issue when I plan to plant something or can I ignore it and just pull out whatever gets to the surface?

  8. Mike G, I really like your channel, I have always found it very inspiring and helpful. You always seemed to be very knowledgeable and well mannered, "put together", that is until this episode. Very disappointing to see how low you can get for a pear! Your fellow you tuber Kevin @epicgardening, was visiting your home, collaborating with you, he's your guest! If you have one pear left you let him have it! He seemed excited enough to be able to try it, you on the other hand own the tree and the land the pear is growing on and have the possibility of eating as many of them as you want, even if this in particular was the last one of the season. How rude is the first thing that comes to mind, how childish is the second

  9. Mike, he is literally lying Neighbor right now. Because I think I was less than 50 miles away from him. But Mike in about a month I am going to be your close neighbor you rock man God bless you take care and talk to you later. 0:47

  10. Not a prepper? Before you know it you'll be raising your own meat chickens, keeping bees, and have that side of grass fed beef in the freezer after all. It's a slippery slope and you are halfway down it. What a wonderful garden set up. Or backyard homestead depending on how you look at it. What fun to have Kevin come see your garden.
